I'm running down alleys in the dead of night…
Will my life end here? Or will I escape the icy cold hands of death once again?
I can only hear 4 things: my heart racing, my heavy breaths, 2 pairs on footsteps, and a man yelling at me.
I stop, why? I don't know, I fall…
Falling…
I'm on the ground, he's above me…
Everything's black…
Black…Different POV
"Hey Guys!!! Come look at this!"
"What now, Race?"
"Look at 'er…"
Blink ran towards Mush and Race to find a girl laying on the street, obviously beaten.
They picked her up and carried her to the lodging house, they had no trouble until they arrived. Kloppman would never let a girl stay, so they attempted to bring her in through the fire escape. After bumping her head into the wall a couple times they succeeded.
Different POV
I woke up in a room with 3 boys staring down at me, I sat up and said, "What am I on exhibit or sumptin'"
The one with an eye patch said, "Oh no… we was jest wonderin' when you'd wake up… sorry."
I took in each of the boys and easily thought up their favorite foods, games, and other things. But there was one boy I just couldn't break, the italian one with brown hair and brown eyes, he just stared into my soul. HE broke ME…
I quickly looked at the one that had just finished speaking, he repeated what he said,
"Who did this to ya?"
"Mush that ain't propah, mind ya mannahs!!" that was the Italian boy again, "Hey are you alright?"
I guess he asked me that because I was slipping in and out of consciousness, he kneeled down quickly and tried to keep me from banging my head against the wall. Instead I fell against him. The others started talking,
"ummm, Race do ya think ya can move 'er offah ya without wakin' 'er?"
"I don't know, mush, lemme see…" he pushed me off a little but my eyes fluttered open then they closed, "well there's your ansah."
"Well you should make yourself comfortable you'se gonna stay dere ftill she wakes up."
"Blink that ain't funny!! Hey don't leave me here!"
After a few minutes he fell asleep, after an hour or so I woke up with him laying next to me,
"Umm… kid? Hello, you'se awake??"
"Wha? Kloppman… do ya evah sleep? OH sorry!"
"No problem… where am I?"
"The newsies lodgin' house."
"Okay… can I leave now?"
"NO! we found you'se passed out on the guttah, you can't go!" I looked around the room saw a fire escape and decided to run for it but I was too weak to last more than a few steps before I collapsed.
"Goils never lern." The boy put me back on the bunk and walked out of the room.
